JOHN GRAEME.
His Death, After Long Illness. Yesterday
Evening.

Mr.. John Graeme died yesterday even
ing at o'clock at his residence, No. All
West Marshall street.
Nh Graeme had been i'll FOR some time
and in extremis for several days, and
death was not unexpected. The deceased
was al one time one Of the best-known,
most useful and popular members of the
Richmond press As commercial and
news editor of The Richmond Wing in its
best day he enjoyed State reputation.
He was also news editor of the bright
but ill-slarrcd Men RichmOnd Enquirer,

Soon after the collapse of this paper he
was offered position in the Richmond
postoflce, under Colonel Forbes, and
faithfully discharged his duties. He was
one Of the most efficient and courteous
officials connected with the office.
His latter days were clouded, but Of them
this writer will say nothing. He knew
him as q courteous gentleman, an accom-
plished scholar a worthy comrade in the
journalistic tread mill, and as a friend,
and only as such does he wish to recol-

Something About the Neglected Condition
OF Its Soldiers section.

The TIMES has received a communica
ton from very valued friend in relation
to Oakwood Cemetery, and the neglected
condition of the soldiers graves In that
halowed and beautiful burial place.
Oakwood is naturally cry lovely place.
At this season nature has clothed 1t In
most becoming garb. The dark green
grass Is relieved by the spontaneous
growth of thousands of daisies. All over
the cemetery are sturdy oaks, beneath
whose outrageous shadows the worn
and weary traveller can repose in peace
Besides all the beauties of nature, art has
done much. Man has, with graceful
hand, retOuched natural beauties, and
hsrmonized the real with the spirituelle.
But it is sad admission to make that
the only neglected spot in this silent city
OF the dead is that where sleep their last
sleep the fallen heroes of our unhappy
civil war The headb0ards are worm
eaten and broken down and the graves
sunken. No cultivated flowers perfume
the precincts Of their narrow cells.
Only the wild flowers springeth up.
Their pc fume scents the air:
The shades or tallcst oaks descend
ON those VINO slumber there.
1t is hoped that the Oakwood Associa'
ton will 90 back to the 10th of May as
their Memorial Day The experience of
this year should teach them that it is use
less to have il on the same day that is OBJ
served at Hollywood Let Richmond
devote two days to this hallowed work,
and let OakwOod receive the recognition
she so much needs and deserves. There
are more soldiers buried in Oakwood
than in any other cemetery in the United
States, and they should not be forgotten
